IDS rd. 1

Nürburgring, the famous 24h race and the IDS was part of it. On a tight track in th FSZ1 we hade fully 3 days of drifting.

the main thing to me was test the new engine setup, the differen suspension setup and see if the car handles well. - it did :) Even though i was only running 1,1 bar of boost because the track was pretty slow.

The judging in the single rund (qualification) was done in 2 sections, one with 75 points and a smaller section with 25 points. The Judge who was judging the smaller section gave me a the worst score i have gever get. But thats what i was used to in the 1st round of a pro series.
Luckily the Judges in the main section knew what they were doing 74 points with a mega entry were enough to qualify. Also the Driftbox was part of the judging.

Ogien from poland was the name of my first oponent - like it was very often in the past season.

qualification: place 9 - i lost the first battle and took place 9 home with me.

Not that lucky was Dino, a friend of mine who crashed into some gantrys and damaged his car pretty hard.


a big Hammer, some cable ties and 1 intercooler later the car was running again.
